Will you bottom out?
Without a good exam this is a question that cannot be answered with certainty. Have you had children? Do you have stretch marks? Do you have any breast ptosis? Is your skin elasticity good. As implants get bigger they get heavier and more stress is placed on the skin which can cause bottoming. However just because you increase your cup size to a D cup does mean your breast will botton out. See an experience board certified breast surgeon for a good consultation.

Bottoming out of implants
Bottoming out is multifactorial. Going from a "B" to a "D" can be commonly achieved without any problem in most cases.

Preventing Bottoming Out
You usually can go up two cup sizes with an augmentation mammoplasty without suffering bottoming out. The key is to select an implant which is not "too large" for your breast diameter. You should also seek a well-qualified and experienced board certified plastic surgeon (who preferably is an ASAPS member). You should be able to find a qualified surgeon by looking on the ASAPS or ASPS websites.

Recommended cup size to prevent bottoming out.
Bottoming occurs when the implant sits too low relative to the breast. This is most commonly caused from improper implant pocket creation. There are factors that can otherwise increase the risk of bottoming out. One of those is very heavy implants. I would not be too concerned with the weight of your implant with your goal of going from a B to a D cup.

Bottoming out
Not necessarily.... bottoming out involves inferior migration of the implants. It s the loss of internal implant support that can cause a slow downward migration of the implants. Also, over dissection of implant pockets at the time of surgery may cause bottoming out. I have helped many patients go from a B cup to a D cup without bottoming out. It really depends on your physical examination and the experience of your surgeon.
